Payroll eating into time you do not have?
For most small Plymouth businesses, payroll is a monthly task that should take twenty minutes and somehow never does. A submission that needs correcting, a pension contribution query, a new employee to add mid-month — the interruptions accumulate. It is not complicated, but it does need to be right every time. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you try to manage it yourself.
- RTI submissions at risk of being late or filed with errors
- Auto-enrolment obligations not quite clear and quietly becoming a liability
- Monthly payroll admin taking up time that should be on the business
What handled looks like
RTI filed accurately each month before the deadline. Payslips prepared and distributed without you needing to check anything. Pension contributions calculated correctly, auto-enrolment obligations met and recorded. Your payroll runs on time and you are informed of anything that needs a decision.
- RTI submitted correctly and on time, every pay run
- Auto-enrolment managed and documented — obligations clearly met
- Monthly payroll off your plate — you approve, we handle the rest
- Fixed monthly cost per employee, agreed upfront, no surprises
What Plymouth businesses say about us
We work with small limited companies and sole traders across Plymouth and Devon. Here are two clients who came to us wanting reliable, responsive accounting without the overhead of a large practice.
What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.
Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.
What your monthly payroll fee covers
Three components that keep your payroll compliant, your employees paid correctly and your obligations to HMRC met — for one fixed monthly fee.
Monthly Payroll and RTI Filing
Every pay run processed, payslips prepared and RTI submissions filed with HMRC before the deadline. If something changes mid-month — a new starter, a leaver, a salary adjustment — it is handled without a separate conversation about cost.
From £10 + VAT/monthAuto-Enrolment and Pension Compliance
Pension contributions calculated correctly each month and submitted to your provider. Auto-enrolment obligations are documented so there is a clear record if HMRC or The Pensions Regulator ever asks. This is not something you want to discover has been missed during an inspection.
Included as standardDirector Salary and Year-End Payroll
Director payroll structured to work alongside your dividend strategy rather than against it. P60s, P11Ds and year-end payroll submissions handled without any scramble come April. An ICAEW chartered accountant reviews the numbers — not just a payroll processor.
Tax-efficient, year-roundSmall businesses across Plymouth trust Swift
Sole traders, limited companies and small employers across Plymouth and Devon. Usually arriving with a backlog or a process that has been just-about-working. Leaving with considerably less to worry about each month.
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending
“I’ve been using Swift Accounting for two years now after my previous accountant retired and recommended Kieran. Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
Switched Accountants, Already Saving Money
“Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money. Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media”
Fast and Reliable at Short Notice, Repeatedly
“Great work by Kieran sorting out my business accounts really fast and at short notice on multiple occasions. Many thanks and I would highly recommend them for all accounting needs.”
Why Plymouth businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of payroll providers. Here is what is different about working with an ICAEW chartered accountant who already understands your wider business finances.
Payroll connected to the bigger picture
Most payroll providers process numbers in isolation. Because Swift handles your accounts and tax as well, your director salary is structured to work with your dividend and tax position rather than separately from it. That is not something a standalone payroll bureau will pick up.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. If an employee queries their payslip or you need to know the tax implications of a pay rise before you offer it, you will have an answer before the day is out. Not logged, not queued — answered.
One price, no extra invoices
Your monthly payroll fee is fixed at the start and does not change unless your headcount does. No charge per query, no bill for a P60 run, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. The cost of your payroll is as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
Up and running in four steps
From initial enquiry to your first payroll run handled. Most clients are set up within a week — there is no lengthy onboarding process.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no call centre.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your current payroll setup, how many employees you have, and what is working or not. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.
We handle the migration
Your payroll history is transferred, your software is configured and your employees are set up correctly. If you have been using another provider or doing it yourself, we take over from where you are — no blank-sheet restart required.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
From here, every pay run is processed, every RTI submission is filed, and every pension contribution is calculated without you needing to prompt anyone. You approve payroll, we handle everything else. Which is, frankly, the way it should work.
“Kieran was really helpful and very knowledgeable with my circumstance, he gave me great advice and was very efficient with getting my tax’s submitted, really glad I found Swift and will definitely be using for future accounting.”
